Don’t you just hate it when a brand
discontinues your favourite product? Well, I certainly do! I thought I would
share with you the products I wish weren’t discontinued. I have re-used some of
my old photos for the products, I apologise for the quality. Here are the ten discontinued
products I could think of so far:-
This perfume was launched way back in
2009 and it is still one of my favourites to this day. I haven’t actually smelled
anything like it. The notes are; Black Currant, Mango, Pear, Jasmine, Lotus,
Hibiscus, Musk, Sandalwood, Vanille and Mexican Chocolate. It was discontinued a
few years ago, I’m not exactly sure when. I remember last seeing it for sale around
2013-2015. I don’t know why it was discontinued because it was a stunning
fragrance. I used up my last bottle around two years ago and I am so sad it is
no longer available. You can still find old bottles of it on eBay but bottles
are being advertised for £100.00+! I recently saw a 15ml bottle advertised for
£40.00, which is a complete rip-off in my opinion. I did come across an auction
for a 50ml unused bottle, but I lost it with one second to go! You can imagine
how peeved I was at losing it and it only sold for less than £30.00! My luck did
change and I came across an unused 100ml bottle from a reputable seller and I
did purchase it. It’s been so long since I last smelled it, so I can barely
remember what it smells like from memory, but I know I would instantly
recognise it again if I smelled it and wasn’t told what it was.

Hilary
Duff With Love Eau de Parfum
This perfume was first launched in 2006
and then Hilary Duff’s song With Love was released in 2007. It is described as
being an oriental spicy scent with notes such as; Spices, Mangosteen, Cocobolo,
Mangosteen Blossom, Amber and Musk. This is also one of my favourite perfumes
and it is very different to Black Star. Again, I can barely remember what it
smells like from memory but I would recognise it straight away if it was
sprayed near me. I’m not sure when this was discontinued or why, but I think it
was discontinued before Black Star was. I’ve had a search on eBay and there are
not really many results, sadly it’s probably about extinct now. I used up my
last bottle two to three years ago. I miss it so much!

Katie
Price Stunning Eau de Parfum
This floral perfume was launched in 2007
and it contains the notes; Mandarin Orange, Jasmine and Patchouli. I can just
about remember how this perfume smells from memory, but it is fading. I’m not
sure when it was discontinued or why. I can’t remember when I used up my last
bottle, but at a guess probably two to four years ago. I think Be You by JoJo
Siwa is the same fragrance (released 2018). The bottle and notes are identical,
so I don’t think it is a simple dupe. Katie may not have owned the fragrance,
so whoever did could have sold the rights to JoJo. This perfume did smell
stunning!
Impulse
Goddess Body Fragrance
This was quite an old body spray scent,
but it was sadly discontinued in 2012. It is still one of my favourite Impulse
scents and I still can’t believe they discontinued it. It was described as
being an exotic oriental scent with citrus notes; Citrus, Jasmine, Gardenia and
Pear. I think I finished my last can of it in 2013.
Maybelline
The Mega Plush Volum’ Express Mascara
This is one of my all-time favourite
drugstore mascaras. It has a gel mousse formula and a pointed barrel shaped bristle
brush wand. The brush was kind of flexible and very easy to apply to your
lashes. It gave you a bold, defined, separated, voluminous, clump-free and
smudge-proof look. This mascara is only discontinued in the UK, I believe it is
still available in the USA, which is so not fair!
Maybelline
One by One Volum’ Express Mascara
This used to be my number one drugstore
mascara and I went through several tubes of it over the years, but The Mega
Plush is even better in my opinion. The brush was made of rubber and had rubber
bristles. It gave you a soft, voluminous, bold, defined, separated, long and
clump-free look. This mascara is only discontinued in the UK, I believe it is
still available in the USA.
Maybelline
Define-A-Lash Volume Mascara
This is also one of my all-time
favourite drugstore mascaras. It had a curved cylinder shaped bristle brush
wand. It gave you a voluminous, long, curly, bold and smudge-proof look. I
believe this mascara has been discontinued for a few years now, but the
Define-A-Lash Lengthening mascara is still available in the USA.

Jeffree
Star Velour Liquid Lipstick in Nathan
This liquid lipstick was released as part
of The Star Family Collection in 2017. It is a peachy terracotta nude matte
shade and it is one of my favourite shades ever. I already have a back-up of
it. I’m not sure if it was mean’t to be a permanent shade anyway, but I wish it
was still available as it is perfect! I’m not 100% certain that this shade has
been discontinued, but Jeffree and Nathan did break up at the beginning of this
year (2020) and I can’t find it for sale anywhere now. I am hoping it is
re-released in the regular JSC VLL packaging and maybe the name could be
changed if that is an issue.

Jeffree
Star Velour Liquid Lipstick in Daddy
This liquid lipstick was released as part
of the Manny MUA Collection in early 2017. It is a cool toned medium brown matte
shade. I never got the chance to actually pick this shade up as it was sold out,
but I wish so badly that I had! It was discontinued after all of the stock was
sold as Jeffree and Manny are no longer friends as of late 2017. I’m not sure
if it was mean’t to be a permanent shade, but the highlighter that was also
part of the collection was still on sale way after the friendship break-up. Like
the Nathan shade, I am hoping it is re-released in the regular JSC VLL
packaging and maybe the name could be changed if that is an issue.

MAC
Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Rubenesque
I remember that when I first started
watching Beauty Influencers/Gurus on YouTube, they all seemed to have this
product and I wanted it so badly. It is a metallic peach shade and it is
beautiful. I first purchased it in 2011 and I actually still have it, but there
isn’t much left as I used to wear it every day to work. It probably isn’t very
sanitary to still keep or use it, but I have used it this year (2020) and it
still performed and looked great. I’m not sure when this shade was discontinued
or why as it was a cult classic, but it is no longer listed on the MAC UK
website (I first noticed it missing late 2019).
Please let me know in the comments
section if you know of any confirmed dupes for the above products. I would be
very interested in trying some.
